Prolific artist and DC Entertainment co-publisher Jim Lee will be joining the Suicide Squad creative team as one of its rotating artists. The twice-monthly comic will release this fall as part of DC's Rebirth. The series will start with the Suicide Squad Rebirth #1 one-shot before transitioning into a full series.

Lee is also working on Harley Quinn and The Suicide Squad April Fool's Special, which'll debut—of course—in April.

Warner Bros. Suicide Squad film is slated for release on August 5. In anticipation of the film's release, DC Collectibles recently debuted its line of 12 inch figures, each of which will cost around $150. Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie), Joker (Jared Leto), Deadshot (Will Smith), and Killer Croc (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) will be available in July, while Captain Boomerang (Jai Courtney) and Katana (Karen Fukuhara) come in August.

Funko is preparing for the film's release as well, and has introduced a whole set of Suicide Squad figures to its 2016 lineup.
